How would you adjust it??? The calipers should be self adjusting. Perhaps make sure the slide pins and the surfaces the pads rest on are sliding freely. Grease accordingly, but keep grease off of the pads and rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 also remember when you get the car down and drive it the piston will push back out of the caliper when you brake to seat the pads...it sometimes looks like alot of room in there......
